Wherein I make snarky comments about Christmas Music

[Pagan]

I just realized that I haven't heard "¿Dónde Está Santa Claus?" very much.

And one of my favorites is "Santa Clause and His Old Lady" by Cheech & Chong. "On, Donner! On, Blitzen! On, Chuy! On, Tavo! C'mon, Beto!"

MS: Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

I have to say that I do like Hall & Oates version.

During Victorian times it was traditional to sit around the fire and tell scary stories on Christmas Eve.

Like "A Christmas Carol"!

The Christmas song I hate most is The Christmas Shoes.

The single-most depressing "Christmas" song....ever.

And Jingle Bombs, by Achmed the Terrorist. Anyone that has not heard Jingle Bombs, should take the time to Youtube it.

That's Achmed, the Dead Terrorist.

You guys want edgy? Try The Chimney Song. Best Xmas song ever. *EG*

My girlfriend introduced me to Walkin Round in Women's Under Wear.

No, not like that. You pervs!

Aw, man, you beat me to it!

Here's one that's been driving me absolutely MAD at my seasonal job but I don't know the name of it or who sings it, other than it's by a very shrill, awful singer:

"last christmas I gave you my heart the very next day, you gave it away... so this christmas....blah blah"

repeat that X 10. Sometimes, I daydream I find this singer (and whoever wrote the song) and...well...beat the song out of them.

That has to be the "Glee" version you're hearing. George Michael has never been shrill.

When I first heard who sang Santa Baby, a part of me threw up. I only know her as Izma and Madame Zeroni, neither of who are particularly attractive. I did not want to picture Izma seducing Santa.

IMO, Eartha Kitt does that song better than anyone else (and hers is really the only version of that song that I actually like).

Once again, you can't improve on the original. She's also my favorite Cat Woman.

but I LOVE (and mom finally found the album) Lorena McKennit's version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" it has an old world feel to it (who'd ever think of belly-dancing to a christmas carol?) and all the rest of the songs on that same album are just a wonderful.

This is why i prefer to stick to my instrumental celtic christmas music!!

You'd probably like Enya's "And Winter Came". And I love Blackmore's Night "Winter Carols", too.

A pleasant change from the usual selection of Christmas carols is Christmas Eve in Washington by Maura Sullivan.

She also played Catwoman on the TV series Batman (after Lee Meriweather and Julie Newmar).

I picked up Arkham City yesterday and this post now has me picturing Izma in Catwoman's tight suit. So much for enjoying the game.

You be the judge.

As far as Christmas stuff that's not too sappy, try watching "Hogfather."

It's epic, and Christmas-y...and while it has its sad points, it's rather funny.

Like when Death being Hogfather, he gives a city guard a high-end crossbow.

Or the part where the store owner wants him arrested for GIVING THINGS AWAY ZOMG...
